Heredia, Costa Rica — Dunkin’, the renowned American coffee and donut chain, is set to open its first Costa Rican café in Heredia this July. This marks a significant step in the brand’s expansion across Latin America, aiming to strengthen its leadership in the region.
The Heredia location is just the beginning, with plans to open an additional seven locations throughout 2024. This ambitious expansion underscores Costa Rica’s growing appeal as a hub for international brands seeking to tap into Central American markets.
